Hi guys I have some questions about the new Firmware and KitKat in general and you may have answers I'll try to update first post with your answers!
-Will I loose root when I flash through Odin? --> Yes
-Is the new firmware rootable, or is there a way to keep root when I upgrade from rooted 4.3?
-->For upgrade yes: If you are rooted on 4.3 you can restore root by flashing a custom recovery and flash superSU manually.
-->chainfire autoroot works but you need to update the superSU app through play store after flashing.
-Will KitKat restrict access to my SD card? -->Yes but fixable through an app or editing a file (needs root), there is already a thread about that.
-Can I still use flash with KitKat? How?
-->Yes, there is a hacked version see 2nd post for link.
-How is the touchscreen driver? Is the stuttering fixed? Do touch and hold actions still drop after ~23sec?
-->Pretty much fixed. To about the same state as the improved Kernel we had a while ago.
-Are there any apps that are not working (root apps too)?
-Gesture Controls? --> works
-Xposed framework app settings? -->works
-Is Hancom Office included or does it still work? --> not included but does still work.
Thats about what I can think of a the moment.
Hi,
If you are already rooted then all you have to do is re install TWRP and then flash SU zip then you have root.
For flash player, download hacked version here, it works I tested it on new software :

Also, xposed works. Tested it on new software

Chainfire's Auto Root does work, once you flash it thru odin and reboot, go to the Play store and update the app.
- Please update OP
Here's a question: I'm already rooted. Is flashing the stock KitKat image via Odin and rerooting the only way to upgrade?

If you are already rooted, I assume you have TWRP too. Just download this KitKat rom, full wipe and install.

Not for me I flashed a stock 4.4 kit kat on my tablet coming from root 4.3. I then flashed chainfire autoroot thru odin on the 4.4 and the superuser there only problem is it displays this ' There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install this is a problem! I formatted my 4.3 before flashing it maybe thats why?

Not sure... I installed KK on the tablet via Odin, then rebooted and setup, then rebooted into download mode and flashed auto root thru Odin.
Upon reboot I got an error selecting SuperSU, but once I updated it thru the Play Store its been fine.
Using ES Explorer I removed the items I don't need and removed all of the Knox stuff.
There are a few of us this worked for so I don't know what went wrong for you.
If you don't succeed then try again, and again, and again....Good luck.
Do I have to update to kitkat bootloader?

Thx for the response from what i can see you never fully wipe your data before installing 4.4 KK but i did so i believe i lost my root like that. So when i updated the supersu never carried over from 4.3

I intend on rooting this tablet. Am I better off rooting 4.3 and then flashing KK update? Or is it possible to update to KK and then root?

Both ways work equally well I was already rooted with 4.3 but either way has been confirmed working so it doesn't matter.

Hi all...... I have just got a breif question maybe there is no root out yet for 5.0.1 or I am just being stupid but i had 4.4 rooted and updated to 5.0.1 lollipop i do have a custom recovery being twrp, however i cannot install the binary i get ......
There is no binary installed and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem !
if you just upgraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re~root consult the relevnt forums...

Which TWRP did you use?
I flashed 2.7.0.1 but when i try to boot to recovery I get the white screen with the red warning at the bottom, and "booting into recovery" in pink at the top, but then it fails and reboots to normal system.
not working
i think chain fire didn't release root for 5.0.1....
if i knew that, i wouldn't update to this android
Works fine on Nexus/GPe devices so must be an Sense thing
Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.
I just went back to 4.4.3 in the end and installed the viperone Rom and have to say i am impressed

You may want to download a root checker app to verify. If it wasn't root properly, I would re-download the SuperSU zip and install it once more.

so my device is rooted, why i still can't gain access to that app ( xmodgames ) i used to gain access when on 4.4.4
did any body tried this app on 5.0.1 ???

My guess is the given app is not compatible with Lollipop.
Try a couple other apps that require root access; e.g., root file explorer.

mmmm, maybe you are right, coz checker is ok, other some apps needs root works fine, like root explorer, aptoide, busybox, but xmodgames

XDA Does not and will never support warez.
please someones confirm us about lollipop 5.0.1.
does our HTC M8 has a root access for this version of android ??
many requests from a lot of users for root access.
i tried all previous versions for chain fire super su, but didn't work, it keeps saying binary needs to be updated, and we have to do it manually.
i heard some talks about flashed kernel.
please experts, relief this pain...:cyclops:

Please answer my question. I search this forum, but don't find any solutions. I need functional recovery for rooting my phone.
It is a new S4 mini VE GT-i9195i (snapdragon410, 64bit, sold from 01/2015) i9195iXXU1AOD2.
Thanks for any help and sorry for my bad English.
well...
according to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/i9192i-s4-mini-plus-root-t3107766
there is no way. since nothing about the GT-i9195i has shown up here.
As far as I know there aren't any custom recoveries for that model as of yet. However people have had success rooting it using the program kingroot.

Correct but it isn't the latest su binary nor does it work with all apps that need root.

He can maybe try rooting it with kingroot and from there he can use "rashr" (flashify doesnt work with kingroots su, rashr does) to flash any kind of boot.img and recovery.img without an custom recovery.
Or he can install "Super Sume" it will remove all the stuff from kingroot (wich brings also their app purify when rooting) and removes kingroot su binary and immidiately installs normal supersu binarys and update to latest binary.
Just here to help out

if you face problem like Super SU needs to update binaries and it is failing, try TWRP method.
i booted into TWRP and installed SU.
I now have Root Yay!
